Due to the new broadcasting rights deal with BT & Sky for the Premier League, the league winners will now receive £120m rather than £60m. So there will be no more worries about FFP when this kicks in, especially for whoever wins it next season. Which could potentially be bad news for foreign clubs, as weaker PL sides can up their wage offer for foreign players, attracting better players to worse teams.

Its a disgrace that in England we have to pay £30 per month to watch our own national league. Also on the subject of Premier League screenings I would much prefer Friday Night Football (Like in the Bundesliga and Liga Portuguesa) to Monday Night Football.

Looks like Chelsea is going to make an even more serious title challenge. That payout is ridiculous!

Whatever said and done, this is a lot better than that criminal deal they have in La Liga strangling the rest of Spanish football to death to serve the interest of two clubs.
